My red eyed tree frog has a large black and white spot on the back of its head that is growing, any ideas on what it is and how to treat it? Would post pic but don't know if I can... Thanks in advance
 
Photos would help, but definitely try to find a local amphibian-savvy veterinarian (check out Arav for listings).

The first thing that comes to mind is some kind of wound (heat? Infectious? Chemical?) that looked whitish from ulceration but is turning dark due to necrosis (tissue death). That definitely needs to see a vet.

    Dear All, I would appreciate some help identifying P. waltl disease and treatment. We received newts from Europe early November and a few maybe 3/70 had what it looked like lesions under the legs- at that time we thought maybe it was the stress of travel- now we think they probably had "red leg syndrome" (see picture). However a few weeks later other newts started to develop skin lesions (picture enclosed). The sender recommended to use sulfamerazine and we have treated them 2x and we are not sure they are all recovering. Does anyone have any experience with P. waltl diseases and could give some input on this? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
